Despite being employed on 2 concurrent NATO operations, the men and women of V(AC) Squadron continue to deliver a pivotal ISTAR capability to Coalition troops on the ground in Afghanistan. In a week which saw them working with both RC(West) and RC(South West), personnel both in the air and on the ground worked tirelessly to provide accurate and timely information to ground commanders. As the 902 EAW Sentinel Detachment Commander commented, “The insurgents haven’t taken their foot off the gas, the British Army certainly haven’t and consequently neither will we.”
